Ballykilcavan Brewing Company was founded in 2016 and is based at Ballykilcavan farm
near Stradbally in Co Laois. The farm has been the home of the Walsh family since 1639
and David and Lisa are the 13th generation to live and work there. The family has been
growing malting barley for at least 100 years, and have now established an on-farm craft
brewery which sources all of the barley it uses from the farm.
The company produces a range of core beers along with seasonal and one-off specials,
including their annual fresh hopped ale which is brewed using hops sourced exclusively
from the Ballykilcavan hop garden.

Blacks of Kinsale is an Irish microbrewery and craft distillery founded in May 2013 by
husband-and-wife team, Sam and Maudeline Black. A passion for brewing began several
years earlier when Maudeline gave Sam a home fermenting kit for Valentine’s Day.
What started as a hobby quickly developed into an obsession. Through Sam’s passion
and enthusiasm Blacks of Kinsale became a reality, spawning its slogan ‘Living the Dream
Since 2013’.
